Reset K-7 Settings to default before selling?

klkitchens · 12-14-2012, 08:41 AM

Did this on an Olympus I just sold, but cannot find a menu item to completely reset the K-7 back to the factory settings... I found a reset for user settings, custom settings, and one on the copyright screen, but it doesn't actually reset the copyright information.

Is there a key combination I am supposed to use on powerup to do this?

A firmware upgrade or downgrade will likely reset everything.... I think..

Nah, the upgrades have never messed with that in the past. I just did all the resets and then manually removed my copyright stuff one character at a time
